The advisors for 2015-2016 are:
* Angela Price (BIHS and AC for last names L-Z)
* Holly Przybyla (AHA, AMPS, CAS, and AC last names A-K).
* Our former advisor, Skyler Barton, has moved to Berkeley City College and we wish him well.

Reminders:

Link will be resent soon if you cannot find it.

College Essay Readers: Berkeley High's College Essay Readers are a group of professional writers and editors committed to helping BHS seniors shine through their personal statements.
